Methodology Anubis has its own spam traps. It also receives reputation data from third-party sources. The data likely include spam trap and complaint data. Its network is also fed by complaints from desktop users using the Anubis spam filter.

Anubis is a heuristics-based filter that uses behavior detection, IP reputation, spam trap data and content fingerprinting to filter email. It also incorporates a blacklist (Uniform Resource Identifier [URI]) similar to the Spam Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Realtime Blocklists (SURBLs). The Anubis filter extracts the URIs from the email content and compares them against its blacklist.

Investigate and fix any potential causes for high complaints and spam traps as they are common reasons to be blacklisted.
